This felt like a mix between Station Eleven and Where the Crawdads Sing. It was a really interesting look at a climate-based dystopia, but narrated in a very lit fic style. It’s not about the dystopia necessarily, but the people and the act of surviving. It’s also about how humanity would move on from this reality to the next. Very thought-provoking read, though there were stretches where the plot didn’t really move.

This book shook me to my core. Living on the Atlantic coast, hurricanes have been ramping up and what began with familiar pang of worry ended in a world that somehow, felt possible...

Beautifully written, character-driven, near-future climate dystopia with a touch of magical realism - I could’ve kept reading their stories for double the length!
